Count your blessings

Most of the times our mind is busy in either the worries of the past or the anxieties of the future and in the process we fail to appreciate the here and now. We should focus and enjoy the present moment rather than thinking about what-might-have-been or yearning for what-is-not. Why should the energy be wasted in unproductive channels of dead past or unborn future?

To appreciate here and now we need to infuse our life so much so that it should transform in to a constant remembrance of His infinite blessings on us. This is the very tendency of the mind to desire for more and more to ad infinitum. To ignore what we have been blessed is not wise way of life. We should also be thankful to Him, for our good, but not in a superficial, mechanical way, instead our life should be an offering to Him with the affirmation that we belong to Him and that all our words, deeds and thoughts are dedicated to His glory.

In the process all our desires will automatically be fulfilled, for He will take over the charge for further action provided unconditional surrender to Him is ensured. Remember, He has infinite power and yet no desire....exactly opposite to us.
